Shelves

A while back we started on some shelves for the girls' room. We got as far as cutting everything out and painting it, but we never could seem to get a good time to put them up. So the girls waited. And waited and waited and waited. And dreamed about what they would put on their shelves. And waited some more.

The other week we woke up late and missed church, so, since the two oldest girls were at the grandparent's house for the weekend, we thought it would be fun to surprise them with new shelves. Besides, it was cold outside.



Drilling holes makes it easier to screw everything together without breaking it.




Up on the wall...





Of course the shelves are not quite so empty now. Oldest daughter has one little corner, youngest daughter has her piggy bank up there (which disturbs her to no end, but I feel it is safer now), and middle daughter has dominated one entire shelf and part of the other with her Breyer horses and some gymnastics trophies.
